Prosecutors in Germany have begun a new investigation into suspicions that Robert Bosch GmbH was involved in diesel engine emission cheating by Audi AG.
German media reported the new probe earlier today. Reuters notes that Bosch also has been the subject of an investigation into possible wrongdoing involving Daimler AG diesels.
Audi was in charge of engineering the 3.0-liter V-6 diesel used in Audi and Porsche models. U.S. regulators found that about 80,000 of the engines were equipped with illegal pollution control software developed in part by Bosch.
Bosch also was implicated in cheater software used in 2.0-liter 4-cylinder diesels used in some 475,000 Audi and Volkswagen cars sold in the U.S. Last March Bosch agreed to fund a $375 million customer compensation program in the U.S. covering the V-6 diesels, along with 2.0-liter 4-cylinder diesels used in Audi and Volkswagen cars.
